CLMD Capacitors: Precision Power Factor Correction for Industrial Networks
CLMD capacitors represent a robust solution for power factor correction in low-voltage industrial and commercial electrical networks. These self-healing, dry-type capacitors are designed for continuous operation at rated voltages up to 690 V AC, with capacitance tolerances typically within -5% to +10%. The CLMD series features a modular, cylindrical design with internal overpressure disconnector protection, ensuring safe operation under fault conditions. Rated for frequencies of 50/60 Hz, these capacitors offer low dielectric losses (<0.5 W/kvar) and high inrush current withstand capability, making them ideal for automatic power factor correction banks. The aluminum casing provides effective heat dissipation and corrosion resistance, while the internal elements are impregnated with a non-toxic, biodegradable resin, eliminating the risk of oil leakage.
These capacitors are primarily deployed in electrical distribution panels, motor control centers, and dedicated capacitor banks for reactive power compensation. They are essential in sectors such as manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, data centers, and renewable energy installations where maintaining a power factor above 0.95 is critical to avoid utility penalties and reduce energy losses. CLMD capacitors are also used in harmonic-filtered systems when combined with detuned reactors, protecting against resonance and network distortion.
The CLMD series includes subcategories based on reactive power ratings, typically ranging from 1 kvar to 50 kvar per unit at 400 V. Common article codes follow the pattern CLMD##/##, where the first numbers indicate the kvar rating and the second the voltage class (e.g., CLMD13/400 for 13 kvar at 400 V). Key articles include CLMD13/400, CLMD25/400, and CLMD50/400 for standard industrial applications. For higher voltage networks, variants like CLMD13/690 are available. The modular design allows easy assembly into multi-step capacitor banks using busbar systems and contactor switching.
